Rohde & Schwarz has successfully demonstrated the generation and analysis of 5G signals based on the characteristics as specified in the Verizon open trial specifications. The R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer both provide outstanding test and measurement capabilities, resulting in an EVM performance of 1 percent when applying these 5G signals.

Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the R&S FSVA, an enhanced mid range signal and spectrum analyzer for signal analysis and demodulation up to millimeter-wave frequencies. Users benefit from the features of this instrument in all measurements up to 40 GHz where low phase noise, high sensitivity and wide analysis bandwidth are required. R&S FSVA offers a 160 MHz analysis bandwidth over its entire frequency range.

The new R&S TS7124 RF shielded box from Rohde & Schwarz offers the best shielding effectiveness, the largest interior dimensions and the most flexible antenna configurations in its class. It provides reliable, reproducible measurement results in a shielded test environment, especially during the production of wireless devices. Unique in its class, the R&S TS7124 offers shielding in excess of 80 dB at 6 GHz. Its frequency range from 300 MHz to 6 GHz.

R&S CMW290 functional radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz is the right solution for users who want to integrate wireless modules into their platforms and test them. For end-to-end testing of applications, the R&S CMW290 can simulate a cellular network and set up a connection between the application on the device or system and the server. IMS server, audio or eCall/ERA-Glonass functionality are also available for the R&S CMW290.

The R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz enables ultrasensitive and ultra-fast phase noise measurements. It also allows users to measure the spectral purity of signal sources such as generators, synthesizers, high-end oscillators (OCXO, DRO, …) and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) more quickly than with any other solution. The high-end instrument covers a frequency range up to 26 GHz and offers a top dynamic range.

With its new microwave frequency options, the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator supports development applications requiring complex multichannel scenarios up to 40 GHz. It is the only instrument on the market to combine a baseband generator and RF generator with fading, AWGN and MIMO capabilities in a single box. It can be used for radar and satellite component and module tests as well as for future 5G technology development.

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its family of R&S RTE oscilloscopes to include two- and four-channel models with 1.5 and 2 GHz bandwidth. The T&M expert now offers the broadest selection of products in this class, with bandwidths ranging from 200 MHz to 2 GHz. Customers can utilize the full bandwidth of an instrument on all available channels simultaneously.
